One of the canals running through the Emerelda Marsh conservation

lands in Florida.

The best time of year for exploring any wetland in Florida, if only

for the absence of bugs!

The tropical cousin of the moorhen; had he come any closer, he would

have been in the boat!

It can be pretty dull for competitor's kids on a long cold day at the

horse show.

Well composed and well suited to b/w.

Excellent work that really engages my interest.

The emphasis on the egret's eyes  really captures the concentration with which these birds fish; great shot.

Lovely picture, well done.

great work, well done.

Why is the trailer that brought the grill to the picnic, so much more

fun than the table, or blanket? It must be the cardboard box syndrome.

Luckily he is not frightened, just bored stiff!

Thank you Pierre :)

Thank you Grayham.  I agree that it would be great if more contributors gave some details of their workflow.  Many don't even show basic Exif data, which I feel should be a given on a site built to help us improve.

This was very simply a high key b/w conversion in Silver Efex;  I subtracted the high key element from the yacht, then added a white vignette.  It pleased me, so I am glad you like it.  Gillie

Well seen and beautifully processed.
